Xone live gold downsides aside (it will change with time imo, virtually free eventually doing the jeff bezsos :)) XBO wants to be the complete HT media center matched with the proverbial win7/8 homepc etc...something windows media center/player never quite achieved.
Q, how is Xone interacting...
Small update, once I turned off anti-aliasing and lowered a few options the game looked and is playing quite well..some would say very reasonable considering the HD4000 is not a monster graphics card ;) as others mentioned it's more cpu intensive and the IB/HD4000 alone see quite capable ..this...
But it's a i7 3770..could CIV V be choking it down, you'd think it more then capabile..Civ V is a mature game but it's possible running it via Steam might be a problem..I'm not exactly sure how it all works since this is the first game without an actual install CD, everything installed via the...
I agree...marketing is always trying to get ya to *upgrade beyond what you'll ever really need.. just to sell product. I've noticed in the last few years you can find cards with several gig of memory but the bit rates have declined..256bit seems to be the high end now not the venerable 512bit...
It plays and actually quite fair until 250 turns or so then you really see the slowdownsm until I put a full vid card in I'll attempt to continue at the lower settings..it's turned into a quite usefull onchip gpu this HD4000 and I almost began thinking it 'no card needed' syndrome' it's quite...
I'm near 300 turns in a Civilization V so there is allot of onchip gpu usage, I've noticed a significant slowdown in the game and today a freeze up even after turning the game video to medium setting from high and since I only have the i7 gpu Intel HD 4000 gpu currently could Civ V need a...
You've posted this message in several threads today which really is not done here and a good way to get on the bad side of the wrong people. I suggest you'll find your problem is driver related just as Intel says in their community forums.
Be sure and use the Intel Communities for this board..seems to not be a common issue but they do have some answers it seems:

Thanks for the update, it always helps someone here and isn't that why we come to Anandtech. I'm betting you'll enjoy the whole Intel Extreme experience or at least I have. Although there seems to compareitive few issues with the Extreme series I hope ppl like Dislikeyou finds his issue..he's so...
Sounds like you've suffered, Intel offers virtually all generic drivers from what I've found..your issues basically apply to all mobo issues and happens to 'some' builders...just not many here since they know how to navigate Intel. ;)

In the past I usually only considered the Intel boards for mission critical work and always have gotten solid performance from the WS boards.. after reading so many excellent reviews on this Intel Extreme series though I have not been at all disappointed. As DisLikeyou mentioned, the big picture...
The Intel Extreme series is well equipped..wifi,BT and oodles of the usual Intel onboard board status LEDs, the latest firmware make it a major player at this level. When I first heard Intel was going to build an Extreme edition and always knowing their high quality build..I ordered this...
